Spoiler

Oberst winning an event:




Oberst when he realizes deadlifts are next

Strategic then , knows he needs to do well in the Non Deads

I would say there is no need for spoilers, I'll edit that into the title.

I think we're all here for results at this point.

Agreed.

I don't think there's much strategy beyond do your best everywhere. A little surprised he can still hang though, really thought he was past it

Found this for those who are interested

And @PurpleStorm if you have any specific questions feel free to ask. It is a very niche sport, so certain things may not be obvious to a new fan or casual observer. A lot of the posters in this thread follow the sport very closely, and have been for years.

Sucks for JF that he's in a non-DL group

How the hell did Obie get zero reps on squat?

Actually I stand by my original post - Oberst with 0 reps on the squat. Dont know if he shit the bed or it was a tactical choice as he knew he couldn't beat the others

He's sandbagged on events before thinking he can get it in the stone off if he's fresh (he was wrong previously).

All he has to do is stay ahead of Eythor and he ends up in a stone-off. Since he probably knows he's not getting first in hiss heat, not a terrible idea (maybe),.

Yeah will be interesting to see how it plays out...

I saw that.
The beauty of no regulation.

I think it was obie who said the main thing they test for is meth.

Word is his shitty old suit he didn’t check to make sure would work was a problem. Didnt get depth and then his knee wrap ripped off and he just called it a day. Brutal showing after winning that first event
